Really worth it
The program was very well organized, the takeaways for my son where great in terms of knowledge and relationships, and the activities were good too. He was very pleased with his experience.

Eye opening experience
I felt this was such an eye opening and wonderful experience for my son. He got a combination of campus life and student life. It gave him a glimpse of an area of study he’s interested in and exposed him to what life outside our hometown feels like. I only wish more pictures were taken and shared of their activities because he didn’t take any.

Terrible value
Terrible value. Had I known what actually went on there I would have never sent my daughter. The "professors" are high school teachers and even middle school teachers who had zero experience in the field they were teaching. A far cry from the professors and industry experts that were promised. The capstone projects (one of the reasons we enrolled) were not actual capstone projects and they were just simple projects done in class without any interaction with businesses in town. What a total scam!

This was our first year attending summer discovery and my son loved it. His only complaint was that the program was only 3 weeks long. Overall the program was a good fit for him and he plans on returning next year.
